I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
loosen off 4/5 bolts...keep one bolt threaded just enough..then take a rubber mallet to the backside of the tire...tap and then spin the wheel a bit..then repeat..

if you dont keep one bolt threaded, expect chips and nicks in your rim when it falls face first onto the asphault. haha

your rim is seized to the hub, next time apply some anti seize before mounting the rim to hub.

If you think that's hard...........wait until you have to replace the rotors. I just replaced all 4 rotors and pads on mine Clk 430 and it was pain in the *** trying to remove those rotors after yearssssssss of corrosion build up inside.

I hope that you cleaned off the surface rust (galvanic corrosion) that caused this problem, and then finished off with a very light covering of grease on the mating surfaces. Otherwise this could happen again at the roadside when you are trying to change to your spare wheel.

I had this problem at home, and it took a good kicking while sat down to finally free off the loosened wheels.
